Bay Area transit officials are pursuing an all-electronic toll system on regional bridges, a plan that would likely include ripping out existing booths and replacing them with cameras. “We’re already very much wedded to the idea of electronic toll...

Ticket came in the mail. $8
The cost to cross the Golden Gate Bridge could rise to nearly $10 in the next five years, a more than 20 percent increase that officials say is vital to keep buses and ferries running, paint suspension cables and otherwise maintain the aging Art Deco...
A man driving in Marin County got his Ford Mustang impounded after an officer found a Safeway receipt for Teriyaki chicken wings on his license plate.
Here I am, complaining of $8 but this guy lost his car.
Well, he should have known better to try a stupid stunt like that.
